6:14 am
loren with a look at our morning forecast. >> good morning to you. yeah, you know, we picked up so much rainfall o'ver the weekend but we needed so it badly that i don't think a lot of people are that upset even though we did see the damaging flooding that we did accumulate. i can tell you right now we're looking better off as we head throughout the next 72 hours. even with all of that flooding we are still talking about some much-needed totals and some cities actually jumping back up to 40% of average even where we were running a huge deficit. one of those is napa. mill valley another big winner. we accumulated just shy of a foot of rain. most of which came through over the course of 72 hours which brings us out live to christie smith in mill valley. even though the businesses out there had to shut down for a short period, i think a lot of the businesses are still happy because they need the tourism dollars coming in to napa valley from the grapes so one of those
6:15 am
good news, bad news scenarios. >> reporter: yeah, i think we can agree we needed the rain. for now the rain has stopped but it left its mark in mill valley. i wanted to show you what a trib you tear tee the corte madera creek is looking like. still very swollen even though it hasn't rained for hours after a flood advisory this weekend. that had businesses, we come over here, near the creek and on miller, if you go up and down the street they are very much like the marin theater company, that is that they all have sandbags in their doorways to try to stop the water from creeping in. mill valley, san rafael, a lot of cities in marin county and the rain fell faster than it could brain. certainly a welcome sight because all of the talk had been about the drought conditions. for some businesses all the water did cause flooding. the 2 a.m. club and joe's tacos
6:16 am
had water inside over the weekend. one of the business owners says the storm drains cause problems and overflow with water from the creek. we did shoot some new video this morning. you can hear the fans coming inside of those stores this morning but during the height of this, they are saying they had to shut it down. >> all of our four sink, the toilets t drains in the men's and women's bathroom were taking water on so we had flooding in the back of the bar. >> reporter: on ferndale and mill valley mud slid down a hill damaging a backyard head. also on sunday a jeep plunged about 60 feet off after hillside. search and rescue found a man dead. it's unclear if it was weather
6:17 am
related. this is the story out here this morning. the water has receded but the sandbags are out. you still see those pondings so you want to be careful as you head out. >> thank you, christie. you know you'll notice from her being out there live the rain is certainly subsiding. but look at this. in napa we have such great news. for the grape growers up there, over the past 72 hours we've accumulated almost 11.5 inches of rain. that is higher than the january and february total average for the month of february and january combined. we typically get 10.48. but yeah, we surpassed that and we're looking good for more rain on the way. everybody in the south bay is asking me why didn't we get those totals down here? i can tell you what happened. we get rain shadow effect.
6:18 am
as the moisture works up the mountains it condenses, you get the heavy rainfall on top. but on the other side of the mountain really dry air. as a result we didn't get much here. we accumulated an inch and warter. that's typically the case if you live in the south bay. the good news is we get most of our water supply from tahoe and that snowpack came up over the weekend when we accumulated over 6 1/2 feet. that's the good news when it comes to the california drought. our snowpack totals. 53 in san francisco. east bay 54. happy to report the 60s are back, i think a lot of people are looking forward to a warm-up. you notice on the seven-day forecast we're going to keep that coming all the way across the board. 63 degrees in the east bay, 61 along the peninsula and so let's talk about our next weathermaker. this will also have a subtropical moisture tap. what we expect is we stop the
6:19 am
clock, showers starting to push in on thursday. we have our next best chance for rain. i think this as far south as san francisco. then into the weekend we get an even better chance. i'm going to talk about that coming up mike inouye, really good news for people concerned about that drought. >> yeah, we got a good helping of rain as you pointed out. good for your storage as well. we have damp roads around the roadway. watch for slick conditions. not as much of a concern. the low clouds and some fog are drifting around. looking to the peninsula as we expect no delays but watch those slick off ramps. the south bay your northbound routes 101 and 87 starting to show the build northbound as its tip call. a couple of other things, trees down reported early morning. east of saratoga. one tree down here, follow the
6:20 am
skyline or 35 up the peninsula, near alice's restaurant, that's a tree reported down. across phone wires there is traffic control and asked for chp pep as more start hitting the roadway. this is off most of our main commutes. so far we've hat today to a minimum. across the dumbarton bridge. the bay shore and interstate 280 moving smoothly on that side of the bay. typical 680 showing speeds dropping into the upper 50s south of vernal. those areas combining to provide slowing. east shore drives 80 westbound out of the highway 4 area, hercules, into the 50 area. we should see a yellow zone. for oakland a live look fast coliseum. you pass high street, making
6:21 am
that curve to where the metering lights are on. toward hayward approaching nothing unexpected for that. here the bay bridge, we can make a clear view. those low clouds, i drifted across that bridge and made it an issue but nothing of major concern. watch those clouds as they drift around. there might be an issue around the golden gate bridge. we're tracking it. back to you. >> thank you much. 6:21. has the bridge sprung a sfleek how the weekend rainfall may have overwhelm ed some sections of the span. ♪

6:25 am
drive across it. the fog was rolling across that famous span. it was beautiful but right now with all of the issues since opening in september it's really making matters worse now that we find out that it's actually leaking. water was found in an area that is supposed to be water tight after the rainstorms. and the leaks could be from some bolts put into some of the steal guardrails, others say it could be a caulking issue that is not water tight. caltrans says they are confident that the problem is manageable and engineers are inspecting where the water could be coming from. this is suppose to be a 150-year-old bridge. that's how long it's supposed to last but the leaks could lead to corrosion and significantly shorten that life span. they think the problem is manageable. they are expecting exactly where the source of the water is coming from. they say this is part of the shake-up period, a five-year
6:26 am
period in which they finagle an issues with a project of this size. this is totally manageable while independent engineers say that may be true but still this is quite a blunder. peggy bunker for "today in the bay." >> thank you much. >> people who run ski resorts rejoicing there are reports of up to eight feet of new snow. this is pretty cool video from north star. the snow came down so fast, so hard it caused the unofficial snow stake to tip over. lake tahoe has risen more than four inches but it's not enough to get back to normal. we need five more storms like this in the next few weeks to get back to an average. of course you can sign up to get weather alerts in your neighborhood, visit our website,
